Being a huge fan of RuPaul's Drag Race since the very first season (and of the Glamazon for many years before that) I just had to pay a visit to RuPaul's Pop-Up Shop at Sweet! Hollywood in the Hollywood & Highland Center on August 5, 2017, to see these fabulous frocks in person and where you can also buy all manner of merchandise inspired by Mama Ru.

The Emmy-nominated Zaldy Goco is the Costume Designer responsible for RuPaul's spectacular runway and judge's table looks (although hair, makeup, padding, charisma and talent go a long way to create the illusion too).
